The Success of tho Season.

Last Friday the young people of Aus
tin to the number of about 100 gathered
at the residence of G. Schleuder, in re-
Spouse to cards issued by Forest Schleu-
der. About $50 o'clock the party had
gathered and were soon made to feel
thoroughly at home. Mr.. Forest Schleu-
der was assisted in entertaining the party
by his friend Kitty Everest, and they
succeeded in making everybody enjoy
themselves to the utmost. At 10 o'clo ok
ice cream was served, but the whole par
ty were so enthusiastically engaged in
the festivities Of the evening that it was
hard work to get them seated long
enough to participate in this luxury. Mr..
and Mrs. Schleduer put in an appearance
about this time and we can safely say
that no one got up from luncheon with
out feeling that there was too much to
eat. Singing, speaking, instrumental
music, dancing, and general good time
was the program of the evening. You
could hear them as the party started fol-
home remarking one to the other, ''wha1
lovely timer and the unvarylng reply
would be, Eyes, and we always have {
good time at Mr.. Schleuder's."

THE BOODLER SHARP CASE.

THE BOODLER SHARP CASE.
A stay of proceedings has been granted
in the celebrated Jake Sharp.case by
Judge Potter. It is said this action will
give the New York Boodler a new trial,
and may admit him to bail. District
Attorney MARITIME has fled notice of ap-
peal from Judge Potter's decision, which
will be heard Sept. z. If Sharp's at
torneys ask that he be released, the pro.
secution will Demand that bail be fixed
at 81, DOC, 600. Anew technicalities in the
trial court as usual is the result of this
stay of proceedings being granted. The
ground on which the Judge grants this
stay and new trial, IS that evidence was
admitted into the trial court which vir-
tually compelled Sharp to testify
against himself and is contrary to law.
Mr.. Sharp read the news of this decis-
ion without showing any signs of emo
ton, or making any comments upon it
whatever. New York city is greatly ex-
cited over the turn whieh this case has
taken, and considerable interest is
manifested as to how it will ultim atelY
result.

each other on the diamond in the latter
place, with the usual result. Austin com
ing out a head. The game was stopped
at the end of the eighth innings by the
rain. The score was Albert Lea 8,
Austin H. Having nothing to lose Of
course the Albert Lea boys insisted on
playing the game out aud set up their
usual kick when the game was called on
account Of the rain. The boys hope it
will be possible to get new ball in the
village when they play there again. The
boys speak in high praise of the politeness
of the Albert Lea crouds. Think they
are we'll saturated with Albert Lea gas.
We expect Luce to turn on the wind and
give US half page this week. AS their
boys cannot play ball of course they
must make it up, as they usually do bv
